pug: "history" is just interpretations and perceptions 90% of the time, amply demonstrated here on this thread.

In the US, more and more citizens are using foodstamps and going below official poverty line.

In China, gigantic number of citizens has been lifted out of poverty and above official poverty line.

These are facts, yet different people will be interpreting these facts differently. Some will spin clockwise, some anti-clockwise, depending on where they stands.

Car sales in China dropped, but oil imports surged.

Car sales in the US jumped, yet miles driven dropped.

Contradictions everywhere, providing fertile grounds for spin, as Jim Sinclair aptly termed: perception management.

Just phoned and talked to a few of my uni mates in China, and my brother in Shenzhen. All confirmed my understanding and, yes my perception.

I await 2015, by the end of which the Chinese government must collapse, or CCP driven out of power, according to ctindale's predictions.
